What it does

This skill gives an AI agent a way to pause and ask you a question through a pop-up box in the app, instead of only writing text in a terminal you may not be watching. You can choose from listed options or type your own answer. The agent is told to use it for clarifications, preferences, and confirmations before risky actions like deleting files or sending messages.

Great for

  • People running an agent inside a desktop app who want it to check with them before acting
  • Users who want confirmation prompts before deletions, purchases, or messages are sent
  • Developers building or testing agent workflows that need human input at certain points

Skip it if

  • Fully unattended or automated jobs, because the agent will wait for a human response that may never come
  • Anyone expecting it to enforce safety on its own: it only asks questions, and the agent can still ignore the rule or misread your answer

Try asking

  • “Before reorganizing my Downloads folder, ask me how I want the files grouped”
  • “Ask me to confirm before you delete the duplicate files you found”
  • “Check with me before sending this email and give me Send or Cancel options”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Give clear, short option labels and a 'Cancel' option for any action that changes or deletes data
  • Remember that the user only sees the modal, so do not rely on chat text alone for questions
  • If you choose 'Other', type exactly what you want the agent to do, since it will follow your typed reply
